Our 20-acre research complex on Florida's Space Coast is adjacent to UCF's Cocoa Campus. This state-of-the-art research campus is composed of a number of buildings that provide office, laboratory, and test facilities.

Main Office Building
Our most recognized symbol was designed by the Architects Design Group, Inc. of Winter Park with assistance from many of our researchers. This building is often cited as: “One of the most energy efficient buildings in the world.”

Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Laboratories
The Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Laboratories contain highly specialized scientific chemistry and materials related equipment that are used to conduct hydrogen research on production, storage, utilization and sensors and fuel cell research on membranes, fabrication, mass transport, surface properties and electrochemical diagnostics.

Photovoltaic Materials Laboratory
The PV Materials Laboratory conducts a wide range of research for the development of renewable energy. The research projects include: PV module aging and durability testings, the development of thin film solar cells for terrestrial and space applications, the development of photoelectrochemical (PEC) cells for hydrogen production.

Solar Thermal Test Laboratories
The Solar Thermal Test Laboratories are used for indoor and outdoor performance testing of solar thermal systems and collectors.

Manufactured Housing Laboratory
The Manufactured Housing Laboratory is a 1600 sq. ft. ENERGY STAR® manufactured home which is used in sample testing for the manufactured housing industry.

Building Science Laboratory
The Building Science Lab allows for variation in the air tightness of the walls, ceiling, ceiling space to outdoors, and air distribution systems. This facility is used to train energy professionals in the techniques and technologies developed by our research.

Flexible Roof Facility
Located a few miles north of FSEC's main office building at the field test site, the Flexible Roof Facility is designed to make side-by-side comparisons on the performance of different residential roofing systems.

Climate-Controlled A/C Laboratory
The Psychrometric Climate-Controlled Laboratory is capable of testing air conditioning and heat pump systems in controlled environments.
